This past Tuesday was an exciting evening in Miami. I was invited to the VIP Miami Art Reception, with thousands in attendance. The air was filled with electricity!

New and awe inspiring pieces of art beckoned attention from all around.

Art Basel is one of the most important shows in the country, from a cultural and social stand point in America. Art Basel has a sister show in Switzerland, which for the past 41 years has been the most prestigious show in the world. The Miami Art Basel offers selections from 250 galleries around the world, with other events happening also, such as; Music, Film, Architecture and Design. The Art Basel in art walk is located in the beautiful Art Deco District of Miami.

After taking in a few hours of incredible art, I went looking for my favorite artist Daisy Papp, who was wandering around showing off her new piece aimed at Wall Street. Called "Bull Shit Nailed", so correctly named with the very essence of Truth. Another great artist also collaborated on this piece with Daisy, photographer Martin Kaupp.

Upon seeing the awe inspiring piece of truth, I decide to interview a few passersby to get their opinion on the piece.

This they had to say:

JonaCervinske, a well established artist residing in Miami, who is a friend of Lenny Krawitz, stated: "That's cool and a huge message and statement! Love it!"

Rudi Sodamin, the famous gourmet chef and food consultant of the Holland America cruise line states:

"I'm a real fan of Daisy Papp's works. With the Wall Street bull shit, Daisy speaks out visually what most Americans feel and think. The smallest actual good is better than the most magnificent promise of impossibilities."

Thomas Babington Macaulay made an offer to buy this piece, but Daisy didn't accept his $20,000 check. I guess this huge painting will end up in another collection.

Maybe Martin Margulies, one of the biggest art collectors in this country will get it for some 10 k more. Rudi commissioned one of Daisy's COWPIE pieces and is now the number 3 art collector who has ordered one of Daisy's sculptures made out of a special foam, 3ft by 2 ft and 1.5ft high sculpture nailed with a 9 inch nail.

"I have 2 dogs running in the backyard of my mansion in Coral Gables and I am happy to welcome finally a doodoo larger than my dogs... That's too funny; I'll have a crap of art in my garden and pay for it without the smell," said Rudi.

After a great evening out it was time to bid everyone good night and head back to the Road Trekin rig.

This Time of year I love to travel to the Slippery Ann Elk Viewing Area north of Lewistown, Montana.It’s about an hours north of town on Hwy. 191.I’d call it a scenic drive, passing various ranches, antelope, deer and maybe a coyote or two along the way.

Once we crossed the James Kipp Bridge, we took a right on a gravel road for 5 miles into the viewing area. Slippery Ann Elk Viewing Area is part of the Charles M. Russell National Refuge.In recent years records show that nearly 500 elk visit the area in September.Numbers remain high through early October, and begin to thin out as harems break up and the bulls begin to feed once again to store up reserves for the winter ahead.

As we approached the Elk Viewing Area, we began hearing the bugling bulls, a sound that is music to my soul.We drove another mile down the road past several vehicles to a spot elk within 30 to 50 yards off the road.The viewing area is about 2 miles long and backs up to the Missouri River; viewers are not allowed to leave the road.

We set up our cameras and recording equipment and sat back to watch the show.I find it very interesting to watch the bulls challenge each other as they round up their harems of cows. While all of this excitement is going on, the spring calves are mostly minding their mothers.Even more interesting, is that the cows actually pick the bull to mate with, most likely to choosing the biggest bull, which can weight as much as a 1,000 pounds

As mating season winds down, the elk separate in their groups with the cows, calves, and spike bulls hanging together.The bigger bulls go off in their own direction till next mating season.

In the spring, elk feed on the new grasses after a long winter of eating dry grass and shrubs.In Montana calves are born between May 21st and June 12th.Twins are very rare.Calves are tan colored and spotted, so they blend in with their surroundings.The calves give off very little scent making it difficult for predators to detect them.

As dark approached, we finished our picnic dinner and sat back to listen to the bugling blasts and blunders of the bulls, as well as cow squeals for well beyond an hour, a symphony of nature at its best.

It would have been fun to stay all night, but we politely packed up our equipment and ourselves up and drove back to the Yogo Inn, an excellent base camp for our adventures and the best Sunday Brunch I have had in awhile.

Today we decide to bring you a bit of history from the Lewis and Clark Trail and took a Hike to the top of Lewis and Clark Pass. Unfortunately Clark never saw the place named after him, for he was down on the Clark Fork River, making his way to meet up with Lewis. This trail from the Blackfoot Valley is the same Trail the Native Americans used to go on Buffalo hunting trips to the plains of eastern Montana.

I have alway been very interested in Lewis and Clark's travels and read the journals at the fall in Great Falls. On one of those days I had decide to name my first born Meriwether, much to my ex-wife's dismay. Needless to say she beat me to the birth certificate and I a beautiful daughter named Sierra. I have traveled to many of the locations in Montana and out to the Pacific Coast that Lewis and Clark stay and must say its well worth the trip.

On July 7, 1806, Lewis's party climbed to the top of what is now Lewis and Clark Pass and saw the landscape stretch endlessly in every direction. They anxiously scanned the horizon for some sign of familiarity and soon spotted a prominent landmark, Square Butte, to the north. This was a welcome site, as the expedition had passed this point on their westward journey. These hardy men knew they were on their way home.

Visitors can take a short, 1.5-mile hike to Lewis and Clark Pass and stand on the very spot where Lewis and his men stood two centuries ago. On a clear day, this hike offers great views of the surrounding Rocky Mountains. Once at the top of Lewis and Clark Pass, search the vast landscapes of the eastern plains to see if you, too, can spot Square Butte, then hike the Continental Divide Trail and discover other stunning views. And keep your eyes open: of all places along the Lewis and Clark Trail, this is the only area on the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail where today you may still encounter a grizzly bears.

Location

The town of Lincoln is located 58 miles northwest of Helena, MT on Highway 200 and is a full service community. Lewis and Clark Pass is located 9 miles east of Lincoln, MT off Highway 200. Turn north onto Alice Creek Rd (FS Road 293) and drive 11 miles to the trailhead. Hike 1.5 miles to reach the Pass.
